Be it known that I, I'TENRY LANGE, a citizen ot the United States, residing atQuincy,

in the county of Adams and State of Illinois,

. i have invented certain new and useIul Immovements in Combination Stove Lids and Burners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable combination coal and gas ranges and stoves, adapted for burningboth SOlICl and fluid or gaseous fuels, and theinvention relates to a coinbinedlid or cover and burner for a cook stove or range. i

It is the object of the invention to provide an extremely simple andetlicient lid burner, providing both a removable lid or cover for an opening in the top of the stove or range and gas burner, for use in burningeither coal or other solid fuel and gas, and the 0on struction being easy to manufacture and'in stall and also being compact so as not to require prohibitive orobjeCtional space when applied.

Another object is the provision of such a lid burner which will be substantially flush with the topot the stove or range like the ordinary lid or. cover, in combination with a griddle adapted to be used, when burning gas, for supporting the Vessel above the lid. A further object is the provision of a novel member for supplying the gas to the lid burner andadapted to be readily installed in a stove or range under the lid openingtor assemblage with the lid burner when placedin the opening.

lVith the foregoing and other objects in view, which will be apparent as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the construction and arran ement of parts, as hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes can be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

The invention, is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a plan of the device.

Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2-2 of Fig.

Fig. 3 is a bottom planview of the lid having the burner co'mbined therewith.

Fig. 4: is a plan view of the elbow with which the burner is assembled.

F 5 is an elevation of said elbow.

The present improvements may beused on various kinds of cool; stoves and ranges for coa-lorsolid fuel, wherein the stove easing has the top 7 with a lid or cover 8 reniovably disposed in an opening in said top with its edge disposed in an annular downwardly otl'setseat 9 surrounding the opening, as well known; v v I In carrying out the invention, the lid 8 is fiat so as to be flush with the top 7 in the usual manner, for supporting vesselsplaced on the stove when burning solid fuel, and

said lid 8 is cast on the under or b ottomside centrally thereof with a depending gas,

chamber 10, which, as shown, is of star formation, having the rad1al arms 11. The

chamber has a central opening 12tor receiving the gas, and that portion of thelidS which forms the top of the gas chamber, is

provided with gas outlet apertures or holes '13. 'Lllheseholesare arranged in radial rows,

shown, above the arms 11, and it is preterable to form the upper surface of the lid 8 with groove 14 therein surrounding the holes 13 and of a configuration substantially the same as the chamber 10, therebygiving the central portion of the lid the appearance and form oi. agas burner, although same is integral with and flush with the marginal portion of the lid.

The lid 8 has the usual handle socket I01 convenience 111 lifting the lid with an ordinarystove lid litter, and the lid is also cast with an annular depending flange 16 surrounding the gas chamber 10to strengtlr en the lid and prevent warping thereof.

Inorder to supply the burner with gas, an elbow or connectingmember 17 is provided, which has one arm extending up;- wardly and for ed with o 7 portion 18 to enter the open lid is placed on the seat 9, as seen i Fig. The other arm of the elbow enten ls horizontally and receives the inner end a mixing tube 19 which extends through one wall of the stove casing, and said tube has an air mixer 20 at its outer end tor admitting anto lTllX with the gas that discharges through thevalve 21 into the tube 19. The valve 21. is attached to the gas supply pipe 22, which may supply severalburners of the stove. The base of the elbow 17 isfornied at opposite sideswith slotted feet 23 to seat on a'horizontal partition 24 in the casing, such as the top of the oven, and the slots can reduce terminal 111g l2'when the ice I ing feet 26 at its marginto seat on the lid,

The lid has depressions or recesses 27 near its edge for receiving the feet 26 of the griddle, and thereby retalnmg the gr1ddle 111 place against accidental displacement or sliding movement on the top of the stove. This \v1ll also enable the griddle to be properly positioned with respect tot-he apertures or holes 13, so that the flames do not impinge upwardly against the radial portions of the griddle, and said radial. portions of the griddle are therefore in a predetermined relation with the radial rows of holes 13. The cooking vessel is seated on the griddle, when cooking with gas, and when coal or solid fuel is used, the griddle is removed, thereby leaving the top of the stove unobstructed and flush, the same as with an ordinary lid or cover.

Having thus described the invention, What is claimed as new 1. A flat stove lid having a depending integral gas chamber spaced from the margin of the lid, saidchamber having a lower central inlet opening to fit over a gas supply member, and said lid having gas outlet holes above said chamber.

2. A stove lid having a depending gas chamber and gas outlet holes above said chamber, said lid having a depending flange surrounding said chamber.

3. A device v of the character described a stove having a gas chamber comprisin rows of gas outlet holes above and radial said chamber, and a griddle having feet torest on said lid, the lid having portions for receiving said feet to position the griddle in a predetermined relation With said holes.

4:. A device of the characterdescribed comprising a flat stove lid having a depending,

gas chamber and radial rows of gas outlet holes above said chamber, and a griddle having feet to rest on said lid, and having radial portions, said lid having recesses for receiving said feet to position said radial portions of the griddle in a predetermined relation with reference to said holes. v

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses. V
